My wife has been granted the privilege of driving it; only because we got rid of her car to get it

Other than that, I have mixed feelings about letting anyone else drive it. A friend of min has a Porche and has offered to let me drive it while he takes the MINI for a spin... my answer? um...NO.

So far it has just been me and the wife driving Prudence... I think it will stay that way for a while...

 

Of course others can drive it, that's how we add converts

 

One or two close friends and my parents

 

Well, my oldest son was the only of the three to never have driven it. Last month I drove from Santa Fe to Atlanta to see him play soccer with his college team. He had Sunday free and we drove up to and upon the Dragon. A memorable first drive.

 

I let one of my best friends autocross Sir Geoffrey this weekend. I trusted him and everything went fine. I let my dad borrow him for a few days once and I will no longer make that mistake. He ate in my car and that's a BIG no-no.

 

ONLY MY WIFE & I DRIVE OUR MINI.

 

My husband doesn't let me drive his MINI. I wanted to feel how his handled. He's all, "you've got your own, I don't want you to mess up my seat position!"
On a recent run, I offered to let my boss (who was good-naturedly and un-nauseatedly - is that a word?) sitting in the passenger seat for most of the trip. I offered to let her drive a leg, but she declined. It ended up being a good thing because that leg was so fun I was giggling through the twisties!

 

Luckily my wife cannot drive a stick, has been over ten years for her. I let her practice on my Wrangler, to give her a refresher course, and that was bone jarring enough . So I am the only one to drive the Mini.

 

A couple friends have driven my MINI with me in the car. They wanted to test it out. There's only a handful that drive it without me. No family members (well maybe my dad just to move it in/out of the garage).
